1920s. As the theme ‘Reminiscing the 1920s’ was put forth by the KL Bar Social, Art and Culture Committee 2009, icons such as Al Capone and Dick Tracy came to mind immediately. Although it would be difficult, if not impossible, to locate even a member of the KL Bar born in that era, yet the members of the KL Bar did not disappoint the organisers by dressing up to the occasion. A few even came prepared with tommy guns (fake ones, obviously!).
The KL Bar Annual Dinner and Dance 2009, themed ‘Reminiscing the 1920s’ was held at Sime Darby Convention Centre, Jalan Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur on 14 November 2009. The dinner was graced by, among others, the Right Honourable Tan Sri Arifin bin Zakaria, Chief Judge of the High Court in Malaya.
Performing some famous scenes from the 1920s era as their opening act, the emcees for the night were Sri and Camilla.
Entertaining the crowd were performances by entertainer provider, Fatty and Skinny Music, with their slick and mesmerising dances. Throughout the night, the crowd was also entertained by scores of songs belted by an up and coming band.
As usual, some of the members of the KL Bar would go home happier than the others, with lucky draw prizes such as LCD, digital camera, ipods and other lucrative vouchers.
Two special prizes were also given to the best dressed male and female. After having the same winner for best dressed male for the past few years, we have a new best dressed male this year (finally) in K.H. Koh. The winner for the best dressed female this year is Ms Soo Mee Chee.
